Announcing 2nd Annual Assured PNT Summit

National Harbor, MD, March 09, 2022 --(PR.com)-- Defense Strategies Institute is proud to announce the 2nd Annual Assured PNT Summit, occurring this May 11-12 in National Harbor, MD. This year’s Summit will explore the nation’s civil, commercial, and military infrastructures that depend on GPS and GNSS and efforts to develop alternative and complementary sources of PNT for a more varied, robust defense.

As the U.S continues to rely more heavily on PNT systems, specifically GPS and GNSS, a disruption or degradation of the service could significantly disrupt the proper functioning of our financial, health, electrical grid, transportation, and military operations. This summit will bring together members of the Military Services, DoD, Federal Government, Industry, and Academia in a “Town-Hall” style forum to discuss the modernization of the PNT enterprise to strengthen U.S. national defense. Attendees at this year’s event will have the unique opportunity to discuss, ask questions, and share comments on how to deliver navigational warfare capabilities to combatant commanders, build anti-jamming satellites and GPS signals, pursue modular open systems architectures for interoperability, and strengthening the resiliency of the PNT enterprise.

The 2022 Assured PNT Summit will feature senior-level speakers including:

- John Sherman, SIS, Chief Information Officer, DoD
- Harold W. Martin III, SES, Director, National Coordination Office for Space-Based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing
- William Nelson, SES, Director, APNT CFT, Army Futures Command
- Karen Van Dyke, Director, PNT, Department of Transportation
- Col. Eric Felt, USSF, Director, Space Vehicles Directorate, AFRL
- James Platt, Director, Strategic Defense Initiatives, DHS

Topics to be covered at the Summit Include:

- DOT Efforts to Deliver Secure, Resilient Civil PNT Systems for Navigation and Transportation.
- Providing Oversight to Deliver the Military Advantage in PNT-Enabled Operations.
- Modernizing the Development of APNT to Ensure Operational Mobility for Soldiers in Denied, Degraded Environments.
